[Learn more]( [] [What Is a Toroidal Power Transformer?]( [What Is a Toroidal Power Transformer?]( Triad Magnetics Toroidal transformers are power transformers with a toroidal core on which the primary and secondary coils are wound. When a current flows through the primary, it induces an electromotive force (EMF) and then a current in the secondary winding, thereby transferring power from the primary coil to the secondary coil.
